DC vs KKR Highlights: Finn Allen shines with unbeaten century as Kolkata Knight Riders crush Delhi's campaign

Finn Allen wins the Player of the Match award for his unbeaten century today.

"I've been working on having more strengths in my bow. Had to be more responsible after a couple of early wickets. I tried to knuckle down early, was challenging early on, then went on to bat deep. That's my model, stay in when it's tough, give myself a chance. Nice to have success after some frustration. When the situation comes, you forget about your batting and focus on the situation. Sometimes, being left out changes your perspective. I was putting on too much pressure on myself."

"Happy for Allen, he was struggling and worked hard. Want to praise our bowlers, they've done well so consistently, spinners and death bowlers. We've been working hard on the fielding, it's helping us. Credit to the fielding coach. Leaving Narine alone is the way to go, lucky to have him and Varun in the side."

Finn Allen becomes the only second New Zealand player to score a century in IPL. Brendon McCullum was the last Kiwi batter to score a century in 2015.

KKR swap positions with DC in the points table. With 9 points, KKR rise to the 7th place and DC slip to 8th position after 7 defeats in 11 games,

Delhi's playoff hopes are all but over, but KKR are back in the race with 4 consecutive wins. An incredible turnaround from the three-time defending champions.

"Runs were short, spinners made a lot of mistakes. Gave away too many step-hits. We lost 4-5 wickets in 2-3 overs, lost momentum there. If we make a mistake, it'll be difficult for the incoming batters. We had to take one-two overs to consolidate after a cluster of wickets. We'll have to plan for next year and work with the players in the next two games."
